seriously interested in these matter.

Immediately after the Spanish-American War of 1898, in which Spain was
defeated by the United States of America, Puerto Rico, smaller of the
Greater Antilles, was invaded and occupied by American military forces.
Coveted by the colonial powers of the nineteenth century for its
strategic position in the Caribbean, Puerto Rico was a valuable spoil of
war for the US Navy, which prevented a request made by the Puerto Rican
people to put the possibility of an independent Puerto Rican state
before the voters. This request had been promoted by the internationally
recognized Puerto Rican intellectual Eugenio Maria de Hostos.

Finally, the United States declared its sovereignty over the
archipelago of Puerto Rico and the minor islands that form a part of its
territory -- among them Vieques, Culebra, Mona, Monito and Desecheo, as
well as a number of islands and keys, thanks to the so called Agreement
of Paris, with which Spain yielded its sovereignty over Puerto Rico.
Afterwards, due to Puerto Rico's lack of political power in relation to
the USA, situations arose that adversely affected the inhabitants of
Vieques. Among the specific events which motivated the writing of this
book are the following:

* On March 17, 1941, through Public Law 13, the USA appropriated 36
million dollars for the construction of a naval base on the island of
Vieques, also called "Isla Nena."

* On August 25, 1941, through Public Law 247, the USA authorized US
Naval forces to begin to expropriate more than two thirds of the area of
the small island. The land acquisition began in 1942, and many residents
of Vieques were evicted from their land and residences.

* As compensation for their seized property, some residents received the
negligible sum of $27.00! Afterwards, they were thrown cruelly close to
their property, on a sugar cane plantation where several babies were
born outdoors, of mothers who were embarrassed by the timing of the
expropriations. Such was the case of the wife of Mr. Ramon Russe Solis.

* In August, 1947, the Department of the Interior and the US Department
of the Navy proposed a plan to transfer the entire population of Vieques
to the island of Santa Cruz (St. Croix) in the Virgin Islands, in order
to use the entire island of Vieques as a naval base.

* In 1963, American military authorities proposed (rather, they tried to
impose again) the pernicious operation known as the "Dracula Plan." This
plan included not only the relocation of all of the inhabitants of
Vieques to the main island of Puerto Rico or Santa Cruz, but also the
removal of all tombs and bodies from the cemetery on Vieques, for
relocation to the principal island of Puerto Rico. Luis Munoz Marin, the
governor at the time, was conscious of the problems that such an action
would create for both the U. S. A. government and Puerto Rico as well,
since the Puerto Rican people carry a deep respect for their deceased.
He warned the Navy of the serious social and political turmoil that this
would cause. Eventually, the Navy was stopped from its original plan.
You might say that in this case, dead men conquered the live ones, or at
least conquered the US Navy.

At present, according to the U. S. Navy, Vieques is "... a frontier
region of great strategic value." Opposite ends of the island -- two
thirds of its territory -- are occupied nowadays by the United States
Navy, which leaves the civil population crowded in the center.

Local residents are at the mercy of errant bombs from a multitude of
practice exercises in the military zones of the island. These consist of
series of test launches and air-to-land bombing missions by naval
aviators-in-training. One of these sites, called "Bulls-eye Target Two,"
has even been designed as a nuclear bombardment test site.

The Weapon Field of the Atlantic Fleet is composed of the Roosevelt
Roads Naval Base, Vieques, and until 1980, the neighboring island of
Culebra, located northeast of Vieques. Culebra, part of the archipelago
of Puerto Rico, is one of the naval testing grounds, and is one of the
most active places in the world for experimentation with new armament,
since it is used jointly by naval fleets of all of the U. S. allies.

Significant pieces of naval armament have been tested in this area.
Among the air and land missiles which have been tested are the Walleye,
Bulldog and Bullup, joined by a number of air-to-air missiles, including
a very dangerous weapon to which we refer in the final chapter.
Artillery support for amphibious landing forces is also tested on the
island's beaches, and is utilized as much for developing the skills of
the fire control teams and equipment as it is for the cargo of cannons
and weaponry.

Bombardment from naval ships -- more intense during the spring months
-- recently averaged 140 exercises with two dozen participating ships,
whereas bombardments from the ships to shore were taking place
approximately 100 days a year. Aerial bombardment schedules change in
dates and duration. In addition to all of the above, it has been
revealed that the Navy has been using depleted uranium ammunition in
Vieques during its naval exercises... and we all know the consequences
of this. Today the Viequan population has an alarming higher rate of
cancer than anywhere in Puerto Rico, among other fatal illnesses.

Today, Vieques, the only place in the Puerto Rican archipelago visited
by South American liberator SimÃ3n BolÃ?var in 1816, is the only
inhabited zone in the world where military forces use live ammunition
for bombing exercises and new weapons testing. These practices have
already been in effect for 60 years. The result of this military
presence in the area has led to a deterioration in the in the
environment, culture and spiritual values in the entire Viequan
community, as well as to the death, direct and indirect, of several
residents of Vieques, including children. Recently there was another
victim of an errant bomb, security guard David Sanes. Also, fisherman
Carlos Zenón and his son Yabureibo were recently sentenced to six months
in prison merely for trespassing the firing range, something that is
usually punished with a reprimand or a fine of $25.00 dollars.

But additionally, all of the military activity on the island has been
accompanied by innumerable and very strange incidents related to the
presence UFOs and aliens in the area. This unusual presence is what
motivated the investigation that resulted in the writing of the book
Vieques: Shooting Range of the Third Kind. These incidents and facts
might explain the continued interest that the military and the U.S.
government take in the island. We invite our readers to study the
content of these pages and to reflect upon it.

Next: details of an important observation made to the south of the
navy's firing range in Vieques by fishermen Ani?bal Corcino, his father,
and the fisherman mentioned above, Carlos Zenón, now imprisoned for
trasspassing in the shooting range area as part of a civil disobedience
/ peaceful ressistance act.

Huge Flying Object Absorbs Water From the Sea

Corcino, a fisherman who resides in sector La Esperanza, reported an
impressive story to us: "One night," he said, "we were fishing together
with Carlos Zenon and others going out to sea, and we observed a large
and brilliant light in the distance. Zenon said, ‘Let's go there, it
must be a fisherman whose boat stalled there.’ But on our approach, we
saw that it was something strange in the sky, it was not a boat. It was
something ... an object quite big and round, an enormous flying saucer
with many colored lights turning on and off all around the object at the
edges. There were yellow, green and red lights. And underneath, it had a
single large light in the center of the saucer, which was going towards
the water, going towards the sea. It was a greenish light. We could not
see clearly what material this object was made of. It was not more than
100 feet up over the sea. But that thing was not of this world."

He continued to explain: "What impressed us most was to see that such
an enormous object could be suspended so still in the sky ... and it was
drawing up water from the sea. You could see water rise and enter
underneath the device, where the green light was coming out. It was a
large column of water, you could not see fish or anything else... and
everything happened without any sound.

"When we came closer to the saucer, it remained still and then when we
were one stroke away from the area, it departed rapidly in the direction
of the El Yunque mountains, towards Ceiba, and disappeared in a matter
of seconds. It was incredible. That night I was accompanied by my father
and fisherman Carlos Zenon. I remember that Zenon said, 'Look, we have
seen something that no one has ever seen. We shouldn't say anything
about this when we get back to shore, because no one will believe us.'
And this is the way we remained,silent. I have only told my family...
until now"

The fact that Corcino and his companions observed a large flying object
or huge disc-shaped ship surrounded by different types of lights,
hovering over a column of water, and that after drawing up water it
departed rapidly towards the El Yunque area or the area of the Roosevelt
Roads Naval Station in Ceiba is extremely important, and has big
implications, since these zones are known as points of high UFO / alien
activity in Puerto Rico.

On another occasion, also while fishing at night, Corcino and his
companions observed a huge brilliant round greenish light rising from
the sea bed. They surmised that it might be a U. S. Navy submarine in
the area coming to the surface, but just at the moment when it should
have broken through the surface of the water, the light went out and
everything remained dark. All at once, they all felt the roar of a great
jet of water falling to the sea nearby. Whatever it was that emerged
rose into the sky in the darkness of the night and disappeared silently
into the sky. Corcino and his companions felt a light drizzle of water
falling upon them. The sky was clear and cloudless that night, though a
bit hazy. After the incident they left the area as soon as possible,
astounded by the event. To our questions, Corcino replied that what rose
out of the sea was a shadowy disc-shaped object of great size.

"Look, aside from that," Corcino said, indicating the strangeness of
what he was saying with a gesture, "we have seen things ... a few balls
of light, many which go out of the tubes, out of the lagoons. They move
with intelligence and go away at a very rapid, enormous speed, and get
lost. There are some brilliant blue-white colored lights. These things
might be from the Navy ... since they have done many things which we
still don't know about. But what we saw in the sea was similar to what
people call a flying saucer. I have no doubts about it... And I don't
believe that it's from the Navy, because from what I understand, nobody
on Earth can make something like that. That thing got lost in seconds in
the sky. It went towards El Yunque."

Corcino's words amazed us, even more because of his seriousness and his
body language. From our experience, they led us to believe he was
telling the truth. Afterwards we corroborated this type of events with
many other fishermen who had had experienced the same things in Vieques.

An enormous flying disc that was drawing up a great quantity of water
from the sea, mysterious luminous spheres that seem to be imbued with
intelligence, with definite movements and direction, and obviously
directed by will ... this same picture has been described to us before
in other areas of Puerto Rico, and has always been tied to, as a
constant, the phenomenon of so-called unidentified flying objects.

Corcino was one of the first people we interviewed in Vieques during
this investigation. What is certain is that what he reported was truly
unexpected. This report opened our senses up to a glimpse, an
observation of an incredible reality that has been manifesting itself in
Vieques for a long time but has, until now, been kept secret by the U.
S. Naval Department and the political and military authorities of the
U.S.A. and Puerto Rico.

Corcino added: "... now that you have come to investigate, and since
many people have seen these things and know that this is all true, we
think that we must speak out and say what has been happening. Because
who knows, probably the Navy has to deal with everything, and they don't
want to give up Vieques because they are doing studies here with all of
this, or with the people of the UFOs. It could be that they don't want
anyone to know what they are dealing with."

He added: "Look, suppose that what we suspect is true and that some
beings exist here, maybe people from another world. If this is true,
then they (the beings from the mysterious objects) have not harmed us.
Those who have harmed us here, those that have damaged the island and
have contaminated us are the people of the Navy. Then ... it is the Navy
that should go away and allow us to live in peace. The others, these
beings, have not done anything bad to us. And now they [the Navy] have
put a powerful radar system on Playa Grande" (the top secret and
controversial ROTHR radar system* which some allege to be tied to the
international net of the HAARP system) he continued saying, "and there
is a chance that they have seen many of these strange things, and don't
want to leave the area. Possibly they are doing studies here with these
things, and because of this they don't want to liberate our island."

Corcino's words would resound strongly in our minds when we learned
some other important information.

UFOs During War Exercises

Sociologist and professor of the Inter-American University of Puerto
Rico, Gazir Sued has been a very active member of peaceful civil
disobedience groups fighting for the US Navy to stop its military
exercises and bombing exercises in Vieques.

During a conversation in a program at the end of the year 2000, we
commented on our finds in relation to the presence of Unidentified
Flying Objects and of beings of apparent non-human origin in Vieques,
and how such a presence seemed to be tied in somehow with the activities
of the Navy. In that one moment, although he was respectful, Sued proved
to be incredulous to our words. This is an attitude we often see,
particularly in the intellectual circles of the country. It grieves us
to say this, since these are supposed to be the most ultramodern sectors
of intellectuals and politics in Puerto Rican society. It is not that
these people wish to conceal what is happening, it is simply that they
have not had access to the information or that they have never taken the
initiative to investigate this topic with any degree of scientific
objectivity. They have simply swallowed all of the disinformational
garbage that North American intelligence agencies have been spreading
for more than 50 years from the 'intellectual,' 'scientific,' and
'academic' official establishment, who actually have been and still are
agents of disinformation paid by intelligence agencies to lie to the
public and to distort and to conceal the truth. We must remember that
SCIENCE DOES NOT EXPLAIN WHAT HAS NOT BEEN INVESTIGATED, BUT ON THE
CONTRARY, IT INVESTIGATES THE UNEXPLAINED.

But there are still intellectuals with true scientific minds, fresh and
unprejudiced; those who, upon observing a phenomenon for which they have
no explanation, still acknowledge its existence and look for an
explanation. Professor Gazir Sued is one of these.

At the beginning of 2001, when the Navy began a new round of military
exercises on the island, civil disobedience groups continued their
protests, entering firing ranges and offering themselves as human
shields to prevent military gun ships and planes from bombarding the
Viequan territory. Sued was present for every demonstration of civil
disobedience, monito-ring the zone from the top of an area known as
Monte Carmelo. From there, they divided into groups to penetrate the
interior of the military zone known as Camp Garcia and the Naval firing
range to offer themselves as human shields against the bombing.

In June we met with Sued in the Camp of Justice and Peace, in front of
the entrance to Camp Garcia. This camp was organized Mr. Roberto Rabin
and his wife Nilda Medina. Sued reported something that he and other
several companions had observed inside the military zone:

"One night, between the 27th and 29th of April 2001, at about 9:30, we
were up on Mount Carmelo, observing the zone with binoculars hoping for
a sign, a Bengal light (similar to fireworks or flares) to alert the
civilians that were in shooting range ... and all at once we saw an
object. It seemed to be a star, but much too large, and very brilliant.
It appeared suddenly, and was very brilliant, very illuminated. There
was no moon that night, so it could be clearly seen and identified by
the light that emanated from it, if it was something recognizable.

"We began to observe it with binoculars. It was a long oval with
approximately seven smaller brilliant ovals in its interior, all along
the length of its structure. It was emitting a very brilliant
bluish-white light, like the light from an electric welder. It was
suspended in the air, completely static and motionless. It was neither a
plane nor a helicopter, nor a dirigible or blimp. We observed it for
approximately fifteen minutes. Someone called us and we turned our heads
for a few seconds. When we looked back again, it was gone."

Sued indicated that "... the object was suspended at an average height,
and what we saw was not very far from Observation Post #1 or from the
soldiers' barracks inside Camp Garcia. (Observation Post #1 is the
building where the Naval Commanders analyze the results of test-firing
missions). That night there were a great number of Navy personnel and
civilian protesters inside, so they definitively had to notice this
display."

Finally, he said, "We all saw it, and we began to discuss the details
of the sighting among ourselves ... but found no explanation. It was an
objective fact, something we could neither deny nor explain, but it was
there and we saw it. It is not that we believe in extraterrestrial
beings or anything of the sort, but a person with a scientific
background could not deny the fact of what we saw. It was an unknown. We
think that it may have been one of the Navy's strange exercises ... it
might be something we don't know about. Decidedly, it was an
unidentified flying object suspended in the sky .. and it disappeared as
suddenly as it appeared. In all honesty, I must say that there are
strange things happening that cannot be accounted for, but I saw it and
stand by what I have said. It was comparable to what they mention in
so-called UFO case phenomena. I think it is something that must be
investigated."

We are grateful, and value the intellectual honesty of professor Sued
and his spirit of sacrifice on behalf of our Viequan brothers and
sisters.

UFO Formations on the Firing Range ... and Humanoids in the Kiani Lagoon

We also obtained testimonial evidence demonstrating the presence of
non-human entities in Vieques. An example of this was a conversation
with Mrs. Mercedes Sanes and her husband, don Luis Ortiz, the sister and
brother-in-law, respectively, of the late David Sanes. Mr. Ortiz was
employed at the Sun Bay resort, south of Vieques, for many years. He is
dedicated to part-time fishing, as are a good number of other witnesses.

"Now that you ask us about this," Don Luis Ortiz said, "I will say
that I have seen some strange objects in the sky. They are large and
very bright, and they are always followed by four smaller objects, also
very bright. At the distance I have seen them from, they are bigger than
my Jeep (his vehicle is about six to seven feet long). This gives you an
idea of the size of these things. I have always seen them around 9:00 -
9:30 at night, often while working at Sun Bay. They come from the west,
moving eastward toward the area of Camp Garcia and the navy's firing
range. I have seen them often, and for years. I have always wondered
about the sound, because they are not airplanes or helicopters or
anything I know of. They don't make noise, they don't have engines or
turbines - nothing at all. They have an oval shape and are rounded. And
the other smaller objects always follow the large one, as if they were
in formation. The large one has a very bright yellow-orange light, and
the other four are also bright, as bright as stars, and each one has a
different color: white, yellow, red and blue ... and sometimes they just
stop in the air."

In turn, Mercedes indicated to us that on one occasion she saw them
next to her husband from the balcony of their residence in La Mina: "It
called me," she said, "and when I went out, I could see it. It was a
very large, very bright, golden-yellow light. It was going towards the
east, towards Camp Garcia. It always goes there, or it comes from there
going to the west. That time it remained suspended in the air, very
quietly, for half an hour, more or less ... and then it was gone. It
was something very unusual, but we thought that it was probably
something from the Navy, so we just left and didn't talk about it to
anyone."

"On one occasion," added Mr. Ortiz, "I saw not one, but to two of those
objects pass by, each one followed by a row of smaller luminous objects.
They passed by, flying toward the east, toward the camp, and shortly
after two military jets passed by, going in the same direction. Surely,
the jets were from the base at Roosevelt Roads. Well, the fact is that
the jets passed in that direction and a little later we heard
explosions. That was at about 8:00 at night.

"I thought that they were doing bombing exercises on the firing range.
A half hour later one of the objects passed by, returning towards the
west. Not the two objects that had passed over originally, just one ...
and the airplanes could not be heard, nor could they be seen any more.
What really happened, I don't know, but everything happened just as I
said. I don't remember if when [the flying objects] passed there were
naval exercises, this was about three years ago, as far back as 1998.
Two weeks ago, at the beginning of July, I saw another one of those
objects. We were holding the [velorio(?)] of our son here at the house,
and everyone who was here saw it. It was suspended a bit more towards
the south-east, towards Sun Bay. It happened just when the most recent
naval exercises had finished."

If the preceding event seems important, then what Mr. Ortiz it revealed
us subsequently is a great deal more so.

We were talking about the different testimonies that we had collected
from the islanders -- among these were some incidents describing
encounters with humanoid creatures in some of the local lagoons. At that
very same moment Mr. Ortiz became somewhat exited and told us, "Yes that
is true. Those little men are seen here, and not only now, they have
been seen before, since long ago, for many years now!"

Interested by his assertion and sudden edginess, we asked him why he
said it. Ortiz lit a cigarette and began to smoke while he revealed
something to us that he had not even revealed to his wife until now.

"I am telling you this because I have seen them," he indicated. "And
not only me, but also those who fish in the Kiani Lagoon. Many times,
when we went fishing during the day, we saw them. They are quite quick
... and they have an incredible agility."

Please, would you describe what you saw? We asked.

"They are strange, very thin, with very skinny legs resembling those of
chickens. I say that because on their feet they have long thin toes,
three or four of them, and they look like chicken feet because they are
long, thin and opened. They are pale, white or gray, and very small, no
more than three or three and a half feet in height, on average, and they
have small human-like faces ... with eyes, a small mouth, nose, but with
flattened, pushed in faces, not like ours since we have protruding
noses, unlike them. The eyes are dark."

My wife Marleen asked how they had their hair and Ortiz answered, "they
don't have any hair, and their heads are very large compared to the size
of their bodies, the heads are smooth and bald."

Ortiz added that when they went to the Kiani Lagoon, located in
Vieques' extreme west, they always saw several of these creatures:"We
saw a few," he said, "but they were moving at an incredible speed and
they were jumping and plunging into the waters of the lagoon. Their
arms are also skinny ... and they have something ... I cannot explain it
well, because it was dark, but it was like they had a fleshy web
betweeen their chests an d their arms. And it also seemed to me that
they had webbed fingers on their hands, but I am not very sure. "

Before going on to the important statements made by Mr. Luis Ortiz, we
must make several comments for the benefit of the readers. Kiani Lagoon
is situated near a reservation or natural bird refuge, and although the
sector was recently 'given' again to the town of Vieques by the U. S.
Navy, access to Kiani Lagoon has been restricted to the public by
federal authorities under the allegation that the lagoon and its
adjacent lands are heavily contaminated with toxic chemicals and heavy
metals from armament that the Naval Department maintains in this sector.

Is this the real reason for restricting access to this area? If not,
could it be that the government just wants to avoid disclosing the fact
that the inhabitants of Vieques have noticed that they are sharing their
island with non-human companions ... and that these companions manifest
themselves in precisely the sectors controlled by the Navy?

More examples are given in our book on Vieques of a non-human presence
in the area.

The same circumstances have arisen in the southwest sector of Puerto
Rico, specifically in the area of another lagoon known as Cartagena
Lagoon, on the littoral coast of this area. As the readers see the
book's analysis on what happens in each of these sectors of Puerto Rico,
they will see that what occurs in Cartagena Lagoon parallels the
situation in Vieques.

Ortiz affirmed that on none of the occasions when the creatures were
seen in Kiani Lagoon did the creatures ever try to attack or show any
hostility towards people. He said, "They simply left when they saw us,
they ran away and then leapt into the water. They never tried to harm or
attack us. If they are here, and they are, because we have seen them
many times, they have harmed no one. Here in Vieques, those who have
harmed us are in the Navy, and on that we are clear."

On the other hand, we must say that it is significant that each of the
witnesses in the cases presented in our book gave descriptions similar
to those offered by the others. Although separated, the observations can
be corroborated beyond any doubt. None of the witnesses knew about the
experiences of the others. This gives even more validity to their
statements, and by correlating all of the information, we are presented
with a recurring pattern of the type of beings sighted in Vieques, their
behavior and the places where they are seen. We can also see a pattern
of UFO activity in the area and become aware of the apparent meddling of
the US Navy in all of this.

After a logical analysis, it can be stated that what occurs in Vieques
is not coincidental at all, nor is it accidental in nature.
Nevertheless, the mass media in Puerto Rico refuses to discuss the
matter. There seem to be orders to this effect. But, due to its
important implications, all of this information deserves to be known by
the people of the archipelago of Puerto Rico and the entire world.

At the present time, we are continuing our investigation in this area,
and we must inform the readers that the phenomena we continue to
encounter based on this situation are truly surprising. It seems to
indicate that official contact with non-human beings from other worlds
has already happened, and it has happened in Vieques, Puerto Rico.
